After her fiancé leaves her for a yoga instructor shortly before their Christmas Eve wedding, a dejected Holly White returns home to Mistletoe, ME. She finds solace at her parents' Christmas tree farm until Margaret Fenwick, president of the Mistletoe Historical Society, is murdered on the property right after a very public argument with Holly's father. Despite the new sheriff's warnings to leave the case to him, Holly asks questions around town to identify other suspects and exonerate her father. Still, she doesn't mind getting to know Sheriff Gray better.
VERDICT Writing as Frost, Julie Chase (Cat Got Your Secrets) kicks off a lively and festive cozy series, introducing an appealing protagonist and charming Maine setting. Fans of Vicki Delany's "Year-Round Christmas Mystery" titles will enjoy.
